BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

During the current discussions surrounding the "bailouts" for the "Big Three Auto Companies", a lot has been said about "unions", "wages", "benefits", and "pensions", not so much about the enormous salaries that CEO's and upper management are paid! There are astonishing salary differences between CEO's, upper management, and the everyday workers, an unbelievable disparity that includes every segment of the corporate world, but it is seemingly acceptable by those making the rules and mainstream corporate media! These extremes have a whole lot to do with the current financial problems in this country today! The American ideal of "Human rights" has been undermined by a Repuglican right-wing philosophy that "Greed is Good," and the "Greed is Good" philosophy is ultimately destroying America!

"Gingrich: '[T]here is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us.'" And just what in hell do you think YOU are trying to do to us, Newt? What do you think your politics has sought to impose on the Americans who actually do believe in the Constitution, Americans who believe in the freedom of choice, Americans who believe in equal rights, such as marriage, military service, jobs, and parenting, Americans who chose to worship in a synagogue, a temple, a mosque, and/or a church? You, Newt, have done everything you can to thwart our freedoms, our rights, and our democracy! You are a scoundrel and a cad, a political virus that seeks to annihilate the very core of American democracy!!!

“Hagel, Unrestrained, Lashes Into Bush, Rush And The GOP”  If I were a Repuglican, after these last 8 years, you can bet your bippy I’d be speaking up and out right now! The Repuglican Party has become nothing more than a bunch of blithering idiots, liars, and cheats!  Corruption has overtaken the whole bunch! They have turned duty, honor, and country into a me first, fear mongering, intimidating, power seeking, dishonest group of thugs!  Al Capone could have taken a few lessons from some of these guys who call themselves Republican!!!

What was Rove’s first rule in politics -- oh, yes, the one about “attack the opposition on their strengths,” yeah that’s the one!!!  Aided and abetted by mainstream corporate media, the attack has centered around Bill Clinton’s philanthropic charities!  The first time ever that someone has been attacked for being charitable!  It is beyond belief and shameful, that mainstream corporate media would attempt to insinuate that something disreputable is going on regarding Bill Clinton’s worldwide benevolence!

“The AP calls the Alaska Senate race for Mark Begich.”  ONE down, TWO to go!

* * *

Like father, like son!  It doesn’t take a “crystal ball” to see PARDONS coming here!!!!  "Texas grand jury indicts Cheney, Gonzales of crime"!  One thing the Bush family knows how to do very well is "pardon" their cohorts in crime!

Joe Lieberman must be feeling pretty smug right now about his leverage in the Senate and his ability to keep the coveted chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee! While he may be able to keep the chairmanship of Homeland Security, he'll never be able to shed the "Joe the Judas" title and the reputation of being a turncoat! Joe Lieberman has become the Senator NOT to be trusted; he is a weasel and a worm! A friend who attends the same synagogue in Washington, D.C. as Joe, once said "beware of Joe Lieberman, he is only for himself, he is not to be trusted, he is not a man of honor"! Little did we know at the time that it was a true statement not to be forgotten!!! While he can be forgiven, we will never forget!
